CPU/GPU A Question About CUDA Video Cards.

[Ozzie]

I have been reading thru these post, and notice that some of the nVidia 400 series card do not perform well with DVDFab, yet the 200 series card seem to do really well. I am considering the GTX 260, and was wondering if anybody here has this card and is happy with CUDA performance.

Also is CUDA proprietary to nVidia or do other video cards besides nVidia do CUDA?

[signals]

nvidia only.

[Ozzie]

Thanks for the quick reply!
Signals is the a particular card that you like that does CUDA well with DVDFab?

[signals]

Well, the 400-series Fermi cards are newer and higher performance in theory, but some users have had difficulties with them. I have a GT 230, which is not quite enough. The GTX 260 and 275 I think are used by many members with good results, among them my friends Maineman, Ipopov50 and Fengtao.

I have the gtx460 and was rendering a blu-ray to h.264 mp4 @ 5k bitrate and was rendering at 50.1ish fps. very impressive and a huge gain from rendering from my cpu (12fps)

That is good performance for so high a bitrate, thanks for the feedback. Happy to hear that DVDFab is working well with the 400 series.

what BD drive & cpu do you have?

what BD drive & cpu do you have?

LG 10x Reader and a Phenom 9950 quadcore @ 3.0ghz

I normally don't use an h.264 mp4 profile, but just for comparison's sake.
Just did a BD ---> h.264 mp4 @ 5k fixed bitrate and realized an average fps of 100-110.

maineman: Thats funny, I have the exact model vid card as you, except I'm running an AMD Phenom II x4 945, so your setup might be a little faster as you have an i7, but maybe I'll try this out and report back as well.

Nice card !!!...lol

maineman,

How much ran do you have in you system. I am running an i7 920 w/ a gtx460 OC with 4GB of ram and I am only seeing `60FPS. Do you have both Encode and Decode set to CUDA?

Thanks
